Definitions

  • the invention lies in the field of telecommunications, and more particularly in the field of telecommunication systems dedicated to drone control and command.
  • It aims to propose a system, and the associated method, allowing for the combined and coordinated use of a satellite link and of a terrestrial wireless link in a telecommunication network, for the bidirectional transmission of data.
  • the invention describes the architecture of a distributed real-time hybrid station allowing for the implementation of such a system.
  • the insertion of unmanned aircraft, or drones, into airspace is currently limited to appropriate spaces, called “segregated” spaces, so as to limit the risks of incidents.
  • the segregated spaces are reserved spaces, often military, subject to specific rules, and into which civilian equipment, such as civilian or commercial airline aircraft, do not enter.
  • the opening up of the non-segregated airspace to drones poses numerous technological problems, such as that of the reliability of the anti-collision mechanisms, or that of the reliability of the telecommunication systems used for control and command.
  • the telecommunication systems used must therefore meet strict criteria in terms of performance (packet error rate, network latency, useful bit rate, overall availability of the system, continuity of the service).
  • the communication systems from and to a drone more often than not rely on the use of satellite links. This is because this type of link ensures a significant coverage.
  • the drone can be in contact with one or more terrestrial stations. The drone can then rely on the terrestrial links in addition to the satellite link.
  • the aim of the invention consists in improving the reliability of the communications by proposing a hybrid telecommunication system relying simultaneously on a terrestrial link and on a satellite link.
  • the DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite Handheld) and DVB-NGH (Digital Video Broadcasting-Next Generation Handheld, the evolution of the DVB-SH standard) standards propose a hybrid satellite/terrestrial data link. In these standards, the hybridation is envisaged at only the physical layer level (layer 1 of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model).
  • the principle consists in using, on the satellite link and on the terrestrial link, a wave form using an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation associated with the use of turbo-codes.
  • OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
  • the transmission takes place over the terrestrial link and the satellite link in such a way that the two signals are received simultaneously by the terminal, and recombined through an MRC (Maximal-Ratio Combining) algorithm, in order to enhance the link budget and therefore the reliability of the link.
  • MRC Maximal-Ratio Combining
  • the two radio links must therefore be synchronised, the use of an OFDM modulation making it possible to support a limited time offset between the two links.
  • a first drawback concerning these standards comes from the fact that the OFDM modulations have spectral occupancy and energy consumption properties which are not suited to satellite communications.
  • a second drawback is that the time offset supported by the OFDM modulation does not make it possible to support excessive mobility variations.
  • the standards are therefore suited to a use to a fixed terminal or one with low mobility, but not to an implementation in a context of high mobility such as aeronautical communications.
  • the European SESAR Single European Sky Air traffic management Research
  • the link used is selected from the terrestrial link and the satellite link as a function of parameters like the quality of each of the links.
  • the links are considered to be independent, the routing or the duplication of the flows being performed in the core network. There is therefore no hybridation of the system as such, which results in the presence of a link setup time upon the switchover from one link to another, which can result in significant latency variations. Furthermore, certain data being transmitted may be lost during this switchover.
  • This mechanism is also presented in the European patent application EP 1 335 530 A1, and in the American patent application US 201 4/01 051 29 A1.
  • the invention therefore proposes a system suited to communications from and to drones, jointly using a satellite link and a terrestrial link.
  • the hybridation between the two links is done at the level of the network layer (layer 3 of the OSI model) and of the data link layer (layer 2 of the OSI model), in order to improve the reliability of the data link and guarantee the continuity of the communications.
  • the invention can also be applied to any type of system that simultaneously has two distinct communication links available.
  • the present invention describes a gateway intended for the bidirectional transmission of data in a telecommunication network comprising at least two distinct access networks to a mobile terminal.
  • the gateway is characterized in that it is configured to constitute an access point to each of said access networks, and to perform at least:
  • the network layer functions and the data link layer functions for the data transmission are adapted according to the access network or networks selected.
  • control functions for all of the access networks comprise:
  • the data link layer functions comprise:
  • the present invention consists also of a system for bidirectional data transmission in a telecommunication network comprising at least two distinct access networks to a mobile terminal.
  • the system is characterized in that it comprises at least one gateway as defined previously, called a hybridation gateway, and in that each of the access networks comprises at least one access gateway configured to perform at least physical layer functions for said data transmission.
  • the access gateways of the data transmission system are configured to also perform scheduling functions for the data transmissions.
  • At least one of the access networks is a satellite network.
  • At least one of the access networks is a terrestrial network.
  • the mobile terminal is a drone.
  • At least two of said access networks use different communication standards.
  • the access gateways are configured to provide the hybridation gateway with information concerning the quality of the access networks to which they belong.
  • the invention consists of a method for transmitting data to a mobile terminal in a telecommunication network comprising at least two distinct access networks to a mobile terminal, involving a hybridation gateway and at least two distinct access networks each comprising at least one access gateway.
  • the method is characterized in that it comprises at least the steps of:
  • the method further comprises, upon the transmission of data to said mobile terminal, at least the steps of:
  • the method comprises, upon the transmission of data from said mobile terminal, at least the steps of:
  • the data link layer functions and the network layer functions, implemented by the hybridation gateway upon the transmission of data to or from the mobile terminal, are adapted according to the access network or networks selected in the step of selection of the access network or networks to be used.
  • At least one of the access networks is a satellite network.
  • At least one of the access networks is a terrestrial network.
  • the mobile terminal is a drone.
  • At least two of said access networks use different communication standards.

  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary implementation of the method according to the invention.
  • the communications of a telecommunication network are generally organised according to the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model.
  • This model describes communications in the form of a layered architecture, each of the layers performing services which are specific to it.
  • the four so-called “upper” layers are the application layers oriented towards specific programs. They handle in particular data coding, synchronisation exchanges, and end-to-end communications between processes.
  • the three so-called “lower” layers are layers dedicated to the transportation of the data. These are as follows:
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a telecommunication network having a plurality of access networks according to the prior art, as defined in the European SESAR programme.
  • Such a telecommunication network 100 can for example have a terrestrial communication system 110 and a satellite communication system 120 .
  • the terrestrial communication system comprises two access networks 111 and 112 to an embedded terminal 130 , each of the access networks comprising at least one terrestrial access gateway 113 and 114 , generally called the base stations.
  • the satellite communication system has, in the example, only a single satellite access network 121 comprising a satellite access gateway 122 and a satellite 123 , but could have several thereof.
  • Each of the access networks makes it possible to route messages between a terrestrial terminal 140 and a mobile terminal 130 embedded in an aircraft, where the aircraft can be a drone.
  • the telecommunication network comprises a gateway called multi-link gateway 150 , responsible for supervising each of the communication systems 110 and 120 , in order to select the communication system best able to ensure the correct transmission of the data.
  • a gateway called multi-link gateway 150 , responsible for supervising each of the communication systems 110 and 120 , in order to select the communication system best able to ensure the correct transmission of the data.
  • this interconnection network is called EATMN (European Air Traffic Management Network). It interconnects all the ATCC (Air Traffic Control Centre) centres situated in the airports, where the air traffic controllers for the onboard/ground communication systems are located. It consists of a plurality of interconnected routers 161 and, possibly, several interconnected subnetworks.
  • ATCC Air Traffic Control Centre
  • the interconnection network is therefore a point of entry for the data from the user terminal, and vice versa.
  • the multi-link gateway 150 is linked to the different communication systems via the interconnection network.
  • the routing tables of the interconnection network are updated to take account of the loss of the link to the primary access network and identify a better path between the multi-link gateway and the mobile terminal via the secondary access network.
  • Each of the communication systems operates independently. In particular, they can use different frequencies, or frequency bands, and different communication standards or wave forms.
  • all of the access gateways take control, through signalling interchanges internal to the system, the functions of resource assignment/release, of mobility management between the different gateways, of choice of bit rates, and all the functions relating to the entry/exit of terminals into and from the system, their mobility, and the trend of the link quality.
  • the gateways of the different access networks are responsible for performing the processing operations relating to all the lower layers of the OSI model.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a first embodiment of a telecommunication network 200 comprising a number of access networks from and to a mobile terminal 130 according to the invention.
  • the different access gateways 113 , 114 and 122 are directly linked to a gateway, called hybridation gateway 210 .
  • the hybridation gateway is directly connected to the different access networks and to the mobile terminal 130 . It is a single point of access to each of the access networks, and implements, in real time, the functions traditionally specific to each of these access networks.
  • the hybridation gateway is linked to each of the access gateways 113 , 114 and 121 , through point-to-point connections, or IP networks. Each of these links is made by using distinct ports. In this way, the switching from one network to another is done instantaneously from the hybridation station, by switching over the port used to transmit the data. Contrary to the prior art, the switchover does not depend on the convergence of the updating of the routing tables in the IP network. The switchover is instantaneous and does not therefore introduce any latency.
  • the hybridation gateway 210 performs the hybridation of the different systems at the network layer level and the data link layer level. It is responsible for the control and the management of all of the access networks, the selection of the network or networks to be used for the transmission, the implementation of the network layer functions, and the implementation of the data link layer functions.
  • the control of the networks comprises the assignment, the release and the reallocation of the resources on each of the communication systems, the monitoring and the analysis of the variations of the quality of each of the access networks, the control of the signalling, including the control of the modulation and coding schemes used, the control of mobility and the control of redundancy.
  • the hybridation gateway With the control of mobility being performed in the hybridation gateway, it makes it possible to control the mobility within a communication system (such as, for example the control of intra-cell mobility in a terrestrial communication system or intra-satellite spot mobility in a satellite communication system) but also between the different communication systems (such as, for example, between the terrestrial communication system 110 and the satellite communication system 120 ).
  • a communication system such as, for example the control of intra-cell mobility in a terrestrial communication system or intra-satellite spot mobility in a satellite communication system
  • the different communication systems such as, for example, between the terrestrial communication system 110 and the satellite communication system 120 .
  • the hybridation gateway is also responsible for the control of redundancy.
  • the packets can be duplicated between the two paths, so as to increase their probability of correct reception, or transmitted by using the two paths, so as to reduce their latency.
  • the control of redundancy applies also to the control of redundant equipment items, described by FIG. 3 .
  • the selection of the network or networks to be used can be done as a function of information concerning the quality of the access networks, through the reporting of QoS (Quality of Service) information, or on the basis of other criteria such as the geographic position of the mobile terminal, the availability of the networks, or the failure of equipment items.
  • QoS Quality of Service
  • the hybridation gateway also performs the network layer and data link layer functions.
  • the communication systems 110 and 120 can use different frequencies, frequency bands and communication standards, such as, for example, the DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial) standard for the terrestrial system and the DVB-S (DVB-Satellite) standard for the satellite system.
  • DVB-T Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial
  • DVB-S Digital B-Satellite
  • the network layer functions consist notably in performing the adaptation between the IP network and the data link layer specific to the system (translation of the IP address into a MAC address and translation of the service classes), and are adapted to the communication standards used.
  • the data link layer functions are also adapted to the communication standard used. They comprise the subdivision and encapsulation of the data into packets adapted to the physical layer, and to the addition of signalling making it possible to reconstruct the data on reception. They also comprise the error control functions, according for example to the ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) or H-ARQ (Hybrid ARQ) methods, which make it possible to acknowledge the correct reception of the data packets.
  • ARQ Automatic Repeat Request
  • H-ARQ Hybrid ARQ
  • the execution of the acknowledgment mechanisms by the hybridation gateway makes it possible, in the case of a switchover from one network to another, to acknowledge, on the new network, the packets (LPDU, Link Layer Packet Data Units) currently being acknowledged on the network previously used. In this way, there are no losses of data, and therefore no retransmissions needed.
  • LPDU Link Layer Packet Data Units
  • the hybridation gateway performs the data transmission scheduling functions. These functions correspond to the management of the instants of transmission, and the synchronisation of the frames.
  • the access gateways dedicated to each of the access networks perform the physical layer functions, including the coding, the modulation and the transmission of the packets routed by the hybridation gateway.
  • the gateways can also implement the transmission instant scheduling functions, relating to the data link layer.
  • the invention therefore makes it possible to improve the availability and the reliability of a communication system, because it makes it possible to be able to switch over from one network to another in a way that is totally transparent to the end user, without modifying the latencies of the network, or loss of packets.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a second embodiment of a telecommunication network comprising a number of access networks according to the invention.
  • the telecommunication network 300 has two redundant satellite access networks 310 and 320 available, each including a satellite access gateway 311 and 321 .
  • the hybridation gateway 210 can instantaneously switch over to the second gateway without loss of context, or of data. Since the physical resources used (such as the frequency for example) are identical, the switchover is performed transparently for the mobile terminal. This mode of operation is particularly useful for the satellite links, for which the availability of the satellites 123 is low, and therefore particularly affected by the losses of packets and retransmissions.
  • the second embodiment, illustrated by FIG. 2 , and the third embodiment, illustrated by FIG. 3 can be implemented simultaneously in a same telecommunication network.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary implementation of the method according to the invention for transmission of data from a user terminal 140 to a mobile terminal 130 in a hybrid telecommunication network comprising a number of distinct access networks to a mobile terminal.
  • This method is intended to be implemented on real-time computation devices included in a hybridation gateway 210 and in each of the access gateways 113 , 114 and 122 .

  • a dedicated computation machine for example a set of logic gates such as an FPGA or an ASIC, or any other hardware module.
  • the method consists in the performance of a first step 401 of control of all of the access networks by the hybridation gateway.
  • this control comprises at least the management of the radio resources of each of the communication systems, the supervision of the signalling, and in particular of the quality and availability of the different links, the management of mobility, and the management of redundancy.
  • a second step 402 of selection of the access network or networks to be used is performed by the hybridation gateway. This step is based on the supervision of the signalling performed in the step 401 .

  • a fifth step 405 of transmission of the layer 2 data packets from the hybridation gateway to the access gateway or gateways selected in the step 402 is performed.
  • This step consists in transmitting the data by the hybridation gateway and in receiving them by the access gateway or gateways. If the link between the hybridation gateway and the access gateway or gateways is an IP link, this step comprises the encapsulation of the layer 2 data packets in IP messages by the hybridation gateway, and the de-encapsulation of the IP messages by the access gateway or gateways.
